Every Sticker Has a Story, Tell Us Yours!

January 13th is National Sticker Day! You may be surprised to learn that the history of the original sticker dates back as far as the 1880’s when European merchants were responsible for using sticker labels on their products. The modern-day sticker creation is credited to Ray Stanton Avery who created “Kum Kleen Pricer Stickers” in 1935 to be sold commercially. Later on, the Avery Dennison Corporation was created, and is still going strong today. The corporation has employees in 37 countries, and over 16,000 employees.

Of course, stickers have evolved since their creation and now January 13 has been dubbed National Sticker Day since 2016. In fact, during the first celebration of the event, StickerGiant set a Guinness World Record for the Largest Sticker Ball. It ended up being 231.6 pounds and 8.8 feet around. Talk about crazy. Wonder where they have the space to store this specific sticker ball?

If you’ve followed along with any of my work at Kdan, you have probably noticed by now that I am a big fan of adding stickers to all of my NoteLedge photo collages that I make.

Stamp stickers in PDF Markup

Instead of adding a blurb of boring text to a document or presentation, next time try your hand at using one of our stickers. A lot of text can make an image distasteful, and make someone lose their interest very quickly. If you have a sticker on your work, not only does it stand out more, but it grabs your viewers’ attention quicker. Their eyes will focus automatically to something that is bright and stands out.
